    How to keep external monitor as default?


    Having a bit of an issue that I can't seem to find an answer to.The issue is I like to use my laptop sometimes with an external monitor attached. When I set laptop to use said monitor as default, it uses said monitor. I can close the lid of laptop & external monitor stays connected as default.BUT the moment I open the lid, it switches from "Show only on 2" to "extend these displays" & makes Windows display on internal & connected external monitor. Also reverts back to "extend these displays" if system sleeps/ wakes up.How can I make it to where Windows will only display only on Ext
